The story of therobbery of Sheriff
Rockafellow turns out to be far from
hoax, but reality, vouched for by
the sDerlH nlmse!f. Ine account OF
the counterfeit bill as reported to us
implied that thieves must have inten-
tionally left it. but that is not the case.
The counterfeit 20 was one which MIR.
r. has had about 20 years and was in
a separate compartment of the pocket
book where it would not be liable to
be found. The amount missing is
$4,000 The town board of Elmer
has resolved 20 give the sheriff little
tilLe to see If the thief cannot be cap
tured. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that the money will be found
We gladly make the correction sug-
gestcd by Mr.. Observation-Disclosures
